Health, trauma, and social care in a medieval rural community
The Santa Maria necropolis (Idanha-a-Velha), primarily dated to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, represents a rare and securely dated medieval skeletal assemblage from the interior of Portugal. Twenty-seven out of the 44 adult individuals exhumed (61%) show evidence of at least one pathological skeletal condition, reflecting a high prevalence of disease and trauma in this rural community. Here, a general overview of skeletal alterations in t…
Echoes of Unwoven Breaks
This study presents a wide literature review of nonunion fractures in paleopathological contexts, including the description of a new case from Idanha‐a‐Velha (Castelo Branco, Portugal). Nonunion factures, characterized by the failure of broken bone fragments to reunite properly, are rare in the paleopathological record. This review aims to gather and analyze existing cases of this condition, using academic databases and specific research terms re…
The Non-Adult Burials of Cabeço da Amoreira, Muge (Portugal)
Underneath the Surface
Discovered 160 years ago, the Muge archaeological sites in Portugal yield the most significant documentation of human skeletons from the Mesolithic period in Western Europe (8200–7100 cal B.P.). However, sediment weight has caused significant postmortem alterations that have limited previous studies. Paleoimaging techniques were applied to overcome these limitations and provide previously inaccessible information. Thirteen crania from Moita do Se…
Possible thalassemia intermedia in a child (16th–18th century) from the westernmost part of Europe
This study describes a non-adult individual with bone features suggestive of β-thalassemia, a disease commonly found in malaria-endemic regions today and in the past. The skeleton of a 5.5- to 6.5-year-old child exhumed from a 16th- to 18th-century CE necropolis in Almeirim (Portugal) was examined macroscopically, with a scanning electron microscope, and by conventional radiology and computed tomography. This individual shows frontoparietal diplo…
Age at death of a Late Middle Pleistocene Neandertal mandible from the Coupe-Gorge cave (Montmaurin, France)
In 1950, in Coupe-Gorge cave in Montmaurin (France), at a stratigraphic level dated to the Late Middle Pleistocene (~150ky) a fragmentary mandibular symphysis was discovered. We examined the fossil to estimate its age at death and assessed its taxonomical classification based on mandibular morphology. A μ-CT scan was performed on the fossil to study its dental development (the 2 permanent central incisors are included). One reference collection c…
A possible case of ameloblastoma in an adult male from the early 20th century Coimbra, Portugal
Paleopathological diagnosis of a proportionate short stature on a female skeleton from the Coimbra collection
Differential diagnosis of a diffuse sclerosis in an identified male skull (early 20th century Coimbra, Portugal)
Osseous mass in a maxillary sinus of an adult male from the 16th–17th-century Spain
